Students will learn how to create a single-color linocut print from start to finish! We will talk about contemporary linocut artists, learn about carving tools and safe handling, determine ways to transfer an image to block, try different carving techniques, and different methods of printing the carved image. Students will leave the class with a broad understanding about linocut printmaking and relief printmaking practices. There will also be an optional print exchange at the end of the course! If students choose to participate in the exchange, they will leave the class with not only an edition of their own prints, but also a print from each participating classmate.
